Ingredients

4 boneless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup orange marmalade
¼ cup bourbon
¼ cup yellow mustard
¼ cup onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken thighs to an 8-inch square baking dish.
Combine orange marmalade, bourbon, mustard, onion, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour sauce into the skillet. Cook and whisk over medium heat to cook off the bourbon, about 2 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken thighs in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until chicken thighs are longer pink and juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
